Wrongly accused of witchcraft, pretty young Aed escapes death at the stake and drowning. Latent magic is aroused in her and she certainly needs it on her journey.
At Dragon's Mouth, she finds her sorceress mentor, Aitheda who has a powerful magical sword. This sword will affect their lives far more than they realise.

Aitheda’s past catches up with her and she is abducted by a powerful wizard. He wants her magical sword called Gobansaor.
Aed’s desperate chase takes her through several cities along a circuitous route. Along the way, she experiences terrible and fierce battles with wizards who use Dark Magic, tragic losses, the joys of new friendships and trickery.

Aed starts a new friendship with Rowena. She teaches Rowena magic. They decide to confront Padraig about his part in Aitheda’s death.
Padraig sets his Dark Magic familiars on them and initiates a new and dangerous challenge.
Once more, Aed’s wanderings weave a complicated and terrible path peppered with betrayal and trickery.
